-# Wez's Term
+# Wez's Terminal
+
+A terminal emulator implemented in Rust.
+
+## Quickstart
+
+* Install `rustup` to get the `rust` compiler installed on your system.
+  https://www.rust-lang.org/en-US/install.html
+* Build in release mode: `cargo build --release`
+* Run it via either `cargo run --release` or `target/release/wezterm`
+
+You will need a collection of support libraries; I built this incrementally
+so far so I don't have a complete list.  Please open an issue if you work
+through and discover the full and proper list of packages for ubuntu:
+
+* xcb and xcb-util development packages
+* fontconfig
+* harfbuzz
+* freetype
 
 ## What?
 
 Here's what I'm shooting for:
 
 * A terminal escape sequence parser
-* A differential screen protocol
-* Textual and GUI rendering of the screen protocol
+* A model of a terminal screen + scrollback that is OS independent
+* Textual and GUI rendering of the model
+* A differential protocol for the model
 
 This would manifest as a common core that could run as both a textual
 terminal multiplexer and a gui terminal emulator, where the GUI part
 could automatically provide a native UI around the remotely multiplexed
 terminal session.
 
+## Status / Features
+
+These are in the done/doing soon category:
+
+- [x] Runs on Linux with XCB
+- [x] Scrollback (use mouse wheel and Shift Page{Up|Down})
+- [x] True Color support
+- [x] Color Emoji and font fallback (Note: currently assumes you have the Operator font!)
+- [x] Paste selection via Shift-Insert
+- [ ] xterm style selection of text with mouse
+- [ ] Configuration file to specify fonts and colors
+- [ ] Render underline, italic, bold, strikethrough
+- [ ] Command line argument parsing / launching of user shell (currently runs only `zsh`!)
+
+There's a good number of terminal escape sequences that are not yet implemented
+and that will get fleshed out as the applications I use uncover them.
+Similarly for key mappings.
+
+Things that I'd like to see happen and that have no immediate priority
+(contributions to get closer to these are welcomed!)
+
+- [ ] Runs on macOS
+- [ ] Tabs
+- [ ] Textual renderer.  Think `tmux` or `screen`.
+- [ ] Runs on Windows
